A 2 Akron Beacon Journal Thursday, July 13, 1972 Fischer Forfeits Game After Camera Dispute Peace Talks Open Mth Hanoi Calling For Bombing Halt ftttKI 'bet! is I .1 match began Tuesday, and Spassky adjourned it after 40 moves with Fischer in bad straits. Five minutes after the game resumed late Wednesday afternoon, Fischer stood up, spoke animatedly to Schmid and trode to a backstage dressing room. Schmid followed him, and Fischer said he wouldn't continue playing unless the movie camera board was shut off. Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes then came back and resumed play.

After Spassky's 56th move, Fischer resigned. He reached over and stopped the clock after 63 minutes had elapsed, offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard and walked out. He paused once to wave to the audience, which was applauding Spassky. WHITEFACED, Fischer left the hall by the stage door and hurried to a waiting car. From the car he spotted John Collins, a naranlpcrir whn 1 5 Continued From Tage A-l camera 150 feet away was making him nervous.

The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him. Chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points in connection with the match, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spassky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each. "It's up to Lothar Schmid whether Bobby plays," one of Fischer's advisers said today. WITH A MAXIMUM of 23 more games to be played, Robert Byrne, the second-ranking U.

After Wednesday's match, Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title. Fischer needs 12 points to end the 24-year Soviet mono-poly of the title.

It will settle down." When the play resumed Wednesday, Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns. Fischer was down to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side. One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn. In his first move, Spassky captured that pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort by Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his king.

Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and two of Spassky's blocked each other's passage. Fischer couldn't unblock because Spassky's bishop could protect his position from long range. Finally, after Spassky's 56th move his king approached the jam on the queen's side Fischer gave up.

IN A BOX to the right of the rostrum, Mrs. McGovern beamed, kissed her daughter and said, "It's unbelievable." On the floor, Gary Hart, the 35-year-old Denver lawyer who organized and managed the McGovern campaign, said, "It's a climax of an awful lot of work. The senator worked for the nomination for a long time. If any man ever deserved it, he Tho have covered a broad range of issues but have not produced any significant change in the conflicting negotiating positions.

But North Vietnam in the past has refused to participate in secret talks unless the regular weekly sessions also were being held. Kissinger and Tho last met May 2. Two days later the United States suspended the semipublic talks indefinitely, and Porter told the Communists we will resume whenever you indicate you are seriously interested in the negotiation of matters of substance; or when we believe discussions would be useful." President Nixon announced on June 29 that Porter was returning to the talks "on the assumption that the North Vietnamese are prepared to negotiate in a constructive and serious way." Kissinger aroused some optimism last week when he said there was "some reason to believe" Hanoi would take a new line when the talks resumed.

HE GAVE no details but said there had been very intensive diplomatic activity in the long recess. There was speculation that Nixon's trip to Moscow, Kissinger's to Peking and Soviet President Nikolai V. Podgorny's to Hanoi were about to show results.

Cedar Point Girl's Death Is Probed SANDUSKY w'- Sandusky police are awaiting a ruling from the Cuyahoga County coroner's office in the death of Barbara Tuttle, 19, of Toledo, a Cedar Point Summer employe.

Police said there is no indication of foul play. Miss Turtle's body found Monday under a running shower in a Cedar Point dormitory. She had been last seen alive Saturday night, Miss Tuttle worked on the amusement park's pie shop. A search was ordered when she failed to report to work Monday. The dormitory houses 50 to 75 female employes.

The bathroom where her body was found has 12 to 15 shower stalls. A Cedar Point spokesman said the showers are never used by more than a few employes at a time, explaining why her body was not found sooner. i Back Volunteers Knight News Sirvlci MIAMI BEACH Although his defunct campaign is about $1 million in debt, Sen.

A third roar went up five minutes later as O'Brien declared McGovern the party's nominee and designated a committee to inform him of his designation. The committee is headed by Ribicoff, who nominated McGovern in a losing quest four years ago and again Wednesday night as "a candidate tuned to the challenges of the future." WHEN THE roll of states was concluded, McGovern had 1,728.35 votes 219 more than he needed. After many votes had been changed, he wound up with 1,864.95. Behind him, in order, came Sen.

Henry M. Jackson, who inherited much of Humphrey's labor support, with 486.65; Wallace 377.50; Rep. Shirley Chisholm 101.45; former Gov. Terry Sanford of North Carolina 69.5; Humphrey 35; Rep. Wilbur D.

Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota 1. As he sat in his hotel suite, surrounded by family, friends and aides, the victorious McGovern took phone calls from Kennedy, Humphrey and Muskie. Jackson sent a telegram pledging support. Mrs.

Chisholm, the first black woman ever nominated for president, took the rostrum to pledge a coast-to-eoast campaign to oust President Nixon. WALLACE, whose supporters sat silently while the McGovern backers whooped it up in the hall, remained in seclusion at his hotel. Earlier in the day, his campaign manager, Charles Snider, said chances of a repeat of the governor's 1968 third-party race for president were growing "stronger and stronger every minute," But Dolph Briscoe of the Texas delegation said Wallace had told him there would be no third party movement in 1972. Although his rivals were falling into line, major holdouts were the barons of organized labor who fought McGovern's drive for the nomination to the bitter end I. W.

Abel, president of the United Steel Workers union, seconded Jackson's nomina-t i by denouncing McGovern's labor record and warning of the risk in a McGovern nomination. RIBICOFF declared, however, that McGovern "will lead the Democratic party to a great victory" in November and added: "If I were a candidate for public office this year, I would want the enthusiastic legions of McGovern workers ringing doorbells for me, too." And those legions were on hand for the night of triumph. In the senator's hotel, about 250 volunteers erupted in a loud cheer as the senator's to mm mm Continued From Tage A-l didn't want to be considered. ONE CLOSE adviser said he felt the list of those under consideration was expanding as the victorious nominee sought the counsel of Sens. Hubert H.

Humphrey and Edmund S. Musk'e, his defeated rivals whose from contention a day earlier had signaled Wednesday night's triumph. Those being mentioned include five senators Thomas F. Eagleton of Missouri, Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut, Philip A.

Hart of Michigan, Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, and Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota; two governors, Ohio's John J. Gil-ligan and Wisconsin's Patrick Lucey, and labor leader Leonard Woodcock. Midway through the evening, top McGovern aides were asked to submit lists of four possibilities. One aide, Rick Stearns, said McGovern had narrowed possibilities to four, including Kennedy and Woodcock'.

Others said a larger number remained under consideration. WITHIN minutes after clinching the nomination, McGovern received congratulations and promise of support from all the candidates he had conquered, except Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace. Labor leaders remained bitterly opposed to the sena.or, as did many delegates.

One sign in the hall read: "McGovern Will Bomb in November." AS THE convention proceeded through its rites of nomination, McGovern left his hotel suite to tell antiwar demonstrators he stood by his pledge for total U. S. withdrawal from Indochina. "I'm not shifting my position on any-of the fundamental stands I've taken," said McGovern, ringed by security agents as he faced the noisy, shoving demonstrators in the lobby. After two straight all-night sessions, the climatic round of nominating speeches proceeded swiftly, with little semblance of the old-time hoopla and floor demonstrations.

At last the roll call was reached and, as the clock struck midnight, McGovern's nomination was assured. BEDLAM BURST through the hall, where six weeks hence Republicans will formally name President Nixon to carry their standard against McGovern. McGovern placards waved through the hall as supporters celebrated the victory. Forty-five, minutes later, when Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien announced the final totals, the hall again went wild.
